Lombard goes for Yankee record! But to combat that he's dropped to 6th.

Most pitchers facing the Yankees are considered unhittable.

Adventures in Outfielding -- Ramos in RF!

Adventures in Batting Order -- Ramos in cleanup!

This Yankee lineup should be able to easily put up 2 or 3 runs.

a few things in no particular order

Schlittler now has TWENTY games this year with 1 run or less allowed. that is the second most such games in Yankee history- tied with Whitey. I believe it was Whitey in 64

If you do not know who had more than 20 such games and when, you might need to brush up on your Yankee history

i cannot fathom any argument for him not being the current leader in the CY race

if Belly does not win the gold glove for LF then they should just stop awarding gold gloves.

if Goldy can get rested up he can make a difference in the playoffs!!

Ron Guidry had 18 such games in 1978. What Schlittler's doing is amazing.

Here's another big negative for Apple TV: No post-game on YES. I'm looking at Gotham Sports, and it's just music and a still of the line score. Allegedly we'll see Boone's press conference, but there's no studio presentation or highlights.

I'm surprised there's no post game show at all on YES.

lotta truth in that

that play was very pretty

great acceleration and speed to glove that hard grounder

two step on his side of second base.

he was speeding along so well that he was two steps on the other side of the bag by the time he was able to throw to first.

Isn't "Mono-Stereo" a contradiction in terms?

And shouldn't he wear 33 1/3 as his uniform number?

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
